In OpenERP is possibile to show or hide field in relation to another field (or fields) value. For example, if you have married field and boyfriend_name as field to show if married is true, you can use this system:

<field name="boyfriend_name" attrs="{'invisible':[('married', '!=', False)]}" />

You're telling to OpenERP to hide ({'invisible':...) the field boyfriend_name if married is not false (it's true!!)

Another example is the comparation with another type of field. For example a selection.

<field name="boyfriend_name" attrs="{'invisible':[('married', '!=', 'selection_key')]}" />

With this system you can create your view dinamically based on your field value

Hello, could you tell me how can i do that if the married field is in on another model?

If the field is in another class, you must insert a related field in the current class and set the attrs on this one.

It works great.

not visible when condition is not false... *head explodes*

Hello, I have tried to compare to a string but it does not work:
<field name="x_studio_company_name_1" optional="show" attrs="{'invisible': [('location_id', '!=', 'Partner Locations/Customers/Rented out')]}"/>

Could you help me?

Hi,

You are using following which is correct for selection field:

attrs="{'invisible':[('lang_mat', '!=', 'eng')]}"

You can use another operators like : 'in' or 'not in' and check.

You can add an invisible field on your view (invisible="1") relating to a function field in your model. There you can evolve by anything you want and return a stringm bool or number and so in to evaluate if another field is visible or maybe readonly:

The View:

<field name="write_if_manager" attrs="{'readonly':['|',('is_manager', '==', 'false'),('state','not in','['draft']') ] }/>
<field name="is_manager" invisible="1"/>

The class looks like

class classname(osv.osv): 
    ...
    def _is_manager(cr, uid, ids ...
        res = {}
        for this_id in ids:
            if obj_users.has_group(cr, uid, 'MANAGER-GROUPNAME'):
                res[this_id] = manager
        return res
    ...
    _columns = {
        'is_manager':fields.function(_is_manager, type='boolean' ...
        'write_if_manager':fields.char( ...)

I have an issue please help me.

<record id="view_order_form_inherit" model="ir.ui.view">
 <field name="name">sale.order.form</field>
 <field name="model">sale.order</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="sale.view_order_form"/>
 <field name="arch" type="xml">
<xpath expr="//field[@name='payment_term_id']" position="after"> 
   <field name="head_option"/>
</xpath>
    <xpath expr="//field[@name='order_line']/tree/field[@name='product_id']" position="before">
         <field name="head" attrs="{'required':[('head_option','=',True)], 'invisible':[('head_option','=',False)]}"/>
</xpath>

he head option is a Boolean field that is in the sale order. and head option is in the sale order_line tree view..

so attrs can't work.

The attrs values works witrh all the type of field. If you nedd to hide a field in relation a selection you must compare che field to show/hide with the selection field. I've updated my answer.
